Kwon Alexander OUT

Buccaneers' Kwon Alexander (hamstring) ruled out for Thursday Night Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander has been ruled out for Week 5 against the New England Patriots.

What It Means:

Since making his season debut in Week 2, Alexander has yet to suit up for Tampa Bay. He has been sidelined with a hamstring injury and reports suggest that he'll be out until at least Week 6. While he remains out, Adarius Glanton will start in the middle, giving a slight boost to the Patriots' running game on Thursday.

With just a single tackle to his name so far, Alexander is projected for 74.9 tackles, 1.1 sacks and 2.8 pass defenses over the rest of the season.
